Camera linked to computer for manual-automatic setting of operation parameters - has interface to link camera to computer which stores exposure parameters w.r.t. different operational programs.

摘要

The camera (5) is linked to a read/write memory which stores selections of operational parameters. An interface (6) links the camera to an I/O device (7) with which the stored parameters can be read or varied. The I/O device consists of a computer (7a) with keyboard (7b) and monitor (7c). Data stored may include exposure data and shutter speed data (1). A backup power system ensures that current data is not lost if the camera battery fails. ADVANTAGE - Easy to use, allows combination of settings to be used for optimum effect.
